Thank you

For pages that already exist on my site, I can submit the URL to SEMrush and it will give me a list of keywords that the page already ranking for in the SERPs. It also gives the ranking for each keyword.
If you don't have a page for a keyword, then go out and grab a competitor's page and do the same thing.
Also, if you have a short article, do the above. Then improve the 200 word article to 2000 words, then do same thing in a couple of months. You will be surprised and the increase in rankings and breath of keywords.

There are a bunch of tools out there. Longtail Pro comes to mind. All of them share a problem, however – noise! That is, the useful sliver of their output often requires such a lengthy period of manual disinterment, you might as well do it the old fashioned way. No keyword tool I know of can be easily told what's pertinent to the context in which you wish to use it.
The best advice I can give you – assuming this is for content creation – is to use the SERPs themselves.
If you Google the short tail, you'll find some if not all of the long tail stuff in the H2s and H3s within the content you're presented with.
Hope that helps.

Am I blind or has Google finally shut down its "Related Searches" option?
I know I just used this a few days ago, so I was surprised when doing keyword research today that I could no longer access the "Related Searches" feature in Google search. Has anyone else noticed this? It's a pity if it's gone, although I think Google announced it was going to shut this down over a year ago. They said the same thing about the "Patent" search too, but it is still available. I know using "Related Searches" was really popular with SEOs so I am wondering if anyone else is as sad-faced as I am? Or perhaps was it just bumped today so Google could have fun with their April Fool's beta test of Google "Nose" ?
